Hermine Overbeck-Rohte (24 January 1869, Walsrode - 29 July 1937, Bremen) was a German landscape painter.
She was born to a family of leather manufacturers. She expressed an early desire to be a painter and received some lessons, but after her father's death in 1881, she was sent to an older sister in Itzehoe to learn housekeeping. Later, she studied nursing in Hannover, but continued to take art lessons. The landscape painter, Paul Koken , advised her to study in Munich, but she followed her family's wishes and became a tutor for a professor's family in Göttingen. [1]
In 1892, she finally decided to study art at the Women's Academy in Munich, where she took part in the annual exhibitions. After seeing works by Fritz Overbeck at a showing in the Munich Glaspalast, she and a friend went to the artists' colony in Worpswede to take lessons from him. In October, 1896, she and Overbeck became engaged. They were married the following year. [1]
In 1904, she was diagnosed with tuberculosis and found it increasingly difficult to paint, so Fritz designed a special easel that allowed her to work lying down. In 1905 they moved to Vegesack (now part of Bremen). From 1908 to 1909, her condition worsened and she had to stay at a sanatorium in Davos. Shortly after she was released, Fritz died suddenly of a stroke, aged only 39. [1]
After that, she devoted her time to preserving his legacy, and painted little. The inflation that followed World War I left her in dire financial straits, forcing her to rent rooms in the family home. Later, she made some money doing illustrations. She died in 1937 as the result of an automobile accident. [1]
In 1990, the "Fritz und Hermine Overbeck Foundation" was established by her granddaughter, Gertrud. The following year, her works were given their first solo exhibition
Paula Modersohn-Becker was a German Expressionist painter of the late 19th and early 20th century. Her work is noted for its intensity and its blunt, unapologetic humanity, and for the many self-portraits the artist produced, including nude self-portraits. She is considered one of the most important representatives of early expressionism, producing more than 700 paintings and over 1000 drawings during her active painting life. She is recognized both as the first known woman painter to paint nude self-portraits, and the first woman to have a museum devoted exclusively to her art. Additionally, she is considered to be the first woman artist to depict herself both pregnant and nude and pregnant.
